IVOIRE 35% & VANILLA PRESSED SHORTCRUST PASTRY
- 300 g Almond shortcrust pastry
- 30 g Brown sugar
- 40 g Crêpe dentelle
- 130 g IVOIRE 35%
- 50 g Butter
- 1 Vanilla bean
Use a rolling pin to break the shortcrust pastry into large pieces, then add in the brown sugar and crêpe dentelle. Melt the butter and the IVOIRE 35% separately at 100-120°F (45-50°C). Use the back of a knife to score the vanilla bean. Use a spatula to delicately mix the ingredients together. Immediately put the mixture in a ring and press down with a spoon. Store in the freezer.
Step03
IVOIRE 35% & STRAWBERRY WHIPPED GANACHE
- 120 g Whipping cream 35%
- 80 g Whipping cream 35%
- 20 g Glucose syrup
- 150 g IVOIRE 35%
- 250 g Strawberry purée
Heat the smaller portion of cream and glucose, then make a ganache by gradually combining the hot cream with the melted IVOIRE 35%. Add the larger portion of chilled cream and strawberry purée to the ganache. Leave to set in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before whisking, for a melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Step04
STRAWBERRY & PASSION FRUIT COMPOTE
- 115 g Strawberry purée
- 135 g Passion fruit purée
- 25 g Glucose syrup
- 3 g Pectin NH
- 28 g Caster sugar
- 1 g Gelatine
Heat the strawberry and passion fruit purées and glucose together at 105°F (40°C). Add the pectin and sugar mixture, bring to a boil and finish off by adding the rehydrated gelatine. Boil again for 1-2 minutes. Pour into a silicone mould of the same diameter as your tart, to a depth of 5mm. Store in the freezer.
